It 's probably not the kind of thing voters will use to choose the leader of the free world .

But the Web was taking no shortage of presidential potshots Wednesday over Republican candidate Mitt Romney 's new mobile app , which embarrassingly misspelled `` America . ''

Yes , Internet . Welcome to AMERCIA .

`` Sorry about the shaking California , that was just the rest of America laughing at Mitt Romney running for Pres. of #Amercia , '' wrote a person behind a parody President Obama account on Twitter -LRB- referencing a minor earthquake late Tuesday -RRB- .

The gaffe , presumably by some poor developer hired by the campaign , appears on `` With Mitt , '' the campaign 's newly released iPhone app . The app invites users to photograph themselves with their choice of 14 pro-Romney slogans such as `` I 'm a Mom For Mitt , '' `` Obama Is n't Working '' and `` The America We Love , '' and then share them on social media .

But one of the slogans reads , `` A Better Amercia . '' Oops . Somebody did n't observe the `` I-before-C '' rule .

An update to the `` With Mitt '' app , with the typo corrected , became available at about 1 p.m. on Wednesday . No one with the campaign was speaking on the record about it , but staffers were downplaying its importance in the run-up to November . By Wednesday afternoon , the campaign also had paid for a `` promoted tweet '' that appears when a Twitter users searches for `` Amercia . ''

Slips of the tongue by political candidates are , of course , not uncommon . In 2008 , then-candidate Obama got grief for saying he 'd visited `` all 57 states . '' And Vice President Joe Biden 's free-speaking nature has gotten him no shortage of headlines .

But the Web 's politically minded -LRB- many of whom , presumably , do n't consider Romney their top choice -RRB- , were noting that when a mistake appears in writing , it shows a lack of attention to detail .

`` If you 're applying for a job , and you misspell the name of the company you want to work for , you wo n't get that job . #Amercia , '' wrote a Twitter user .

'' #Amercia '' was a trending topic -LRB- meaning it 's one of the most discussed terms -RRB- on Twitter late Tuesday and again Wednesday morning .

The typo has already also inspired its own Tumblr blog , `` Amercia Is With Mitt . ''

It features photos created with the app and , as of Wednesday morning , included a group of spelling bee champions , Beaker from `` The Muppet Show '' and Rich Uncle Moneybags , the Monopoly mascot , among its subjects .

And numerous images were popping up on Instagram -- one highlight being Bart Simpson having to write the correctly spelled `` America '' during his iconic chalkboard gag from the intro to `` The Simpsons . ''

To be honest , the Romney camp is probably more pleased at winning enough delegates in the Texas primaries Tuesday to make him the unofficial GOP nominee than it is worried about a spelling gaffe .

And it 's worth noting that lots of folks who support Romney probably only learned that the app exists because of talk about the typo .
